All charges will be invoiced. All payments must be paid within 15 days of invoicing via Bank transfer unless otherwise stated. Billing will reflect the actual costs incurred and any client requested changes will be billed additionally. Throughout the process the Studio will advise you on any price changes on any amendments to the original order and your final invoice will be adjusted accordingly.
Payment is required on any order prior to the design process proceeding.
Whilst it is usual for the payment to be paid in full upfront or 50%, exceptions may be made should you need to pay in instalments but please note that no order will be printed or dispatched until the full payment has been made.
Chloe Pákai Studio reserves the right to regretfully decline any request for design services/ stationery due to limited availability and/or conflicts of interest.
Proofs and process
Throughout the design process, proofs will be sent over for you to review. As standard you can receive 1 round of design and proof and 1 round of minor amends if needed as part of the price. If further amends need to be made after 2 rounds of design you will be charged additionally. It is your responsibility to ensure that all wording and detail on the designs are correct and as you want it. Chloe Pákai Studio cannot be held responsible for incorrect spelling mistakes or incorrect details. Printing will take place once the final proof has been signed off by you. By signing off this proof you are agreeing to take full responsibility for the design as shown.
Please note that the longer your proofing rounds, and the longer feedback takes to be received, the longer your completion date will be pushed back. A turnaround time will be given once the design has been sent to print, but this is an estimate only.
Chloe Pákai Studio does not accept responsibility for any spelling or other errors in the content of the artwork being ordered. Whilst the Studio will always diligently look through each file carefully for errors, it is your responsibility to carefully check all details and to ensure that these are correct before your order goes to print. No refunds will be made. If errors are discovered once your stationery is sent to print, the Studio are required to charge for a reprint at the minimum quantity.
Cancellations
Cancellations of any order can be accepted up until the time of printing, but there will be a fee for any time and/or expense incurred by Chloe Pákai Studio. Please note the 50% design fee is non-refundable. The Studio cannot give refunds after artwork has been approved, printing has commenced or on completed orders. In the unlikely event that Chloe Pákai Studio needs to cancel your order, you will be given a refund in full.
Colour and printing variations
Please note that samples may not always be 100% like to like to the final finished product due to the nature of print production and process, which can result in minor variations. Please be aware that colours appear differently on screen as to printing. Matching colours can be tricky, but options will be given where possible and colour samples will be sent to choose from for a small fee where necessary.
Due to the recycled and unbleached nature of some of the paper stocks used, shade and fleck can vary between batches giving each piece a unique edge.
As standard, recycled fleck kraft v-flap envelopes are used for save the date cards, invitations and thank you cards. The envelopes are made from recycled content, therefore colour/content can vary significantly from batch to batch.

This allows the studio to send your package via Royal Mail Special Delivery or a similar operator, which is tracked and insured.
